What can I say that hasn't already been said? The hosts here are friendly, generous, helpful and gracious. Dusit is a refreshing reprieve from the usual persistent activity of Bangkok. On my last night there I got a whole barbecue chicken for around 200 baht from the vendor up the road and was invited to sip whiskey with a group of super-friendly guys who lived in the neighborhood. If you're looking for a raucous party atmosphere, you won't find it here, but if it's mellow, authentic vibes you seek, look no further.
